here is the only people that have tried getting, or concerned with leaving Iraq with Honor:
George Tenet: "One of the Greatest CIA directors ever."
Gen. Casey: "One of the Greatest CENTCOM's ever. Heck, lets give him a promotion."
Sec. Rumsfeld: "One of the Greatest SecDef's ever."
Paul Wolfowitz: "One of the Greatest..."I forgot what he used to be. He was the one that when asked how many American's have died, he had no clue. He should have had a counter on his desk.
Seems the only people that are trying to leave Iraq with honor are those that have mismanaged it. When its all said and done, it will be the soldier that has honor, and he/she doesn't need to talk about it, in hopes of getting it.
Hopefully Petraeus cleans house. Bush needs to clean house. His own house, and get a war cabinet back in for the final 1 1/2 years of his administration left. He literally has nothing electorially to lose. Have Bush go ask the soldiers in Walter Reed on whether it was right to not have 300,000 troops go in, versus the 150K that rumsfeld pushed over his generals heads. I wonder what that soldier would say and whether he feels like he has honor. Honor in who? His leaders, or his fellow americans for their lack of will to crush a sect of people that wants to destroy us all? Does anyone doubt that Saddam tried to assassinate ex Pres. Bush? Am I talknig to a wall?
Have you done this, Tulsa Ramjet? Have you? Because I have, and that isn't what I have heard as the main or even a major issue from the soldiers there.
You are entitled to your opinion. But please don't push it on everyone else as sanctimonious fact.
